Dinner Plans: Week 30

It's Week 30 of Dinner Plans and we're seeing the daylight for summer produce!

We're deep in freezer cleanout mode. I'm finding jars of passion fruit curd, fig jam, and more. These will need to be used before the end of the month. I don't want to bring a whole lot from the freezer to our new home in Northern California so lots of yogurt bowls and oats are in our future this week.

Dinner Plans for the Week

I love rotatating my seasonal vegetable recipes through a variety of dishes. I think about different methods of preparation: grilling, roasting, frying, sautéing and then decide on what to make for the week. For zucchini season, I’m sharing three recipes that show three different ways to prepare the vegetable we always have an abundance of this time of year:

• This pasta with caramelized zucchini is ready in 20 minutes and is sure to become your new favorite pasta dish to use up all that summer squash.
• Breakfast potatoes with zucchini is a great meal prep option to use as a breakfast hash or as a filling for breakfast burritos and tacos.
• Zucchini Parmesan is a wonderful weekend dinner idea. I know, summertime heat does not invite the use of the oven but trust me on this one. It’s a great dinner idea and if summertime doesn’t sound like an appealing time to make it save this one for crisp autumn Sundays or a wintering Friday night.

HERE IS OUR GAME PLAN FOR DINNER THIS WEEK:

Sunday: Pasta with Caramelized Zucchini

Monday: Birthday Burger Bar for Our Emma ❤️

Tuesday: Shrimp Enchiladas

Wednesday: Risotto with Swirls of Spinach & Arugula Pesto

Thursday: Fava Falafel Salad

Friday: Dinner Toast with Garlicky Greens & Fried Egg

Saturday: Pizza with Garlic Scape Pesto, Artichokes, Fresh Mozzarella, and Arugula

From favorite recipes to new things with a wide variety of ingredients, cooking delicious food with our CSA definitely gets us out of a dinner rut and reduce food waste.
